I'm not in tv land. Is this Yasiin Bey video/Guantanamo Bey issue receiving any attention on tv?(Sorry to derail the thread guys)

I don't reside there either but I do stay pretty in tune with NPR and most major news stories. I'm not really that surprised corporate media isn't picking this up though. That would involve having to explain what's happening in Gitmo and most media outlets are doing very little reporting on the hunger strike anyway. For people to see this it has to be a viral campaign.

Rap records? Alright. Run The Jewels is a fantastic record. El & Mike bro it up EPMD style with guests like Prince Paul & Big Boi. And it's free.Billy Woods' Dour Candy is also pretty fantastic, produced entirely by Blockhead. Billy Woods' rhyme scheme is a bit to get used to at first but his music is definitely something to check out at least once. You can't be mad at RoboCop references.Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire also dropped Kismet not too long ago, and while this tape may be a bit inconsistent at some points, the tape features some great moments from eXquire. It also features some great production from Constrobuz, who may or may not post here anymore. He probably got tired of us.Open Mike Eagle's Sir Rockabye EP may not be his best work, but its still a fun record. Mike goes #RealHipHop on "Clean It Up" but the most entertaining moment for me was "Password":"I GOT THE PASSWORD TO YOUR NETFLIXI'M WATCHING EVERY NARUTO"I'm actually a big fan of Mike, make sure to check out his other releases.On the more experimental side of the hip-hops is TAPE TWO by some scottish dudes called Young Fathers. Some creative stuff on this record. If you like this one, make sure to cop TAPE ONE as well.Finally, mndsgn's instrumental tape breatharian is not to be slept on. mndsgn is one of the only cats in the beat scene that doesn't bore me to death/overwhelm me with pretention, so new releases from the dude are always welcome. Perfect summer vibes.

One of my all time favorite jams! Every time I hear it my mind goes back to sophomore year of high school smoking and watching this on MTv2 at my best friend's house like it was yesterday...

I was lucky enough to find this white label 12" with an acapella a long time ago. Earlier this year I pulled it out and used the line 'Making music that'll bump for a thousand years', as a chorus to one of my group's songs. When I first played it for a couple of the rappers one of them in particular was so excited to hear Gab's voice. He went on to tell me about his love of this jam and how he remembers bumping it with his friends back in high school as well.
